Window Replacement in Richmond, VA

Drafty, foggy or painted-shut windows cost you comfort every season. Most can be replaced without tearing into the walls, using replacement windows sized to the existing openings. When the frame or sill has rotted, we take the opening back to sound wood and install a full-frame window instead.

Either way, the job is not done when the glass is in. We insulate and seal around every window, finish the interior trim and cap or caulk the exterior so it looks like it was always there.

Signs it is time for new windows

  • Fog or condensation trapped between the panes
  • Drafts you can feel around the frame on a cold day
  • Sashes that are painted shut, will not stay open or will not lock
  • Soft or rotted sills and exterior trim
  • Rising heating and cooling bills in an older home
Homes in Richmond's City Old and Historic Districts usually need Commission of Architectural Review approval before exterior window changes. Houses built before 1978 may have lead paint on window trim, which requires lead-safe work practices. We check both before ordering.

Window Replacement & Installation questions from Richmond homeowners

How much does window replacement cost in Richmond, VA?

It depends on the number and size of windows, the window line and material, whether openings need full-frame replacement or rot repair, and the interior and exterior trim work. We measure every opening and give you a written estimate with each window priced on its own line.

How long does it take to get new windows?

Replacement windows are made to order, so there is a manufacturer lead time after we measure. Installation itself usually takes a day or two for a typical house, and each opening is closed up the same day it is opened.

What is the difference between insert and full-frame replacement?

An insert window fits inside your existing frame and leaves interior and exterior trim in place, which is faster and less disruptive. Full-frame replacement removes the old frame entirely and is the right choice when the frame or sill is rotted or out of square.

Do I need approval to replace windows in a historic Richmond neighborhood?

If your home is in one of Richmond's City Old and Historic Districts, exterior changes such as replacing windows generally need approval from the Commission of Architectural Review. We will check your address and help you plan around it.
